The 2024 auction will take place on December 19 in Dubai. All franchisees are willing to do this. A total of 333 players are taking part in the mini-auction. There are 214 Indian players. If we talk about IPL team Punjab Kings, this time they can focus on the bowlers. Apart from Kagiso Rabada and Arshdeep Singh, there is no great bowler. Arshdeep is also young.
If we look at the list of remaining Punjab players, Kagiso Rabada, Arshdeep Singh, Harpreet Brar, Nathan Ellis, Rahul Chahar and Vidwat Kawerappa have been given a chance as bowlers. Sam Curran is a good all-rounder. He can also play an important role in bowling. But the team might still need bowlers. Punjab has a total of 8 slots available with 2 foreign players. He has around Rs 29.10 crore in his purse.
Punjab can bet on Shardul Thakur. Besides Shardul, Wanindu Hasaranga can also be a good option. Talking about Shardul, he has played 86 matches in the IPL. 89 wickets were taken during this period. Shardul’s best performance in a match was taking 4 wickets for 36 runs. Shardul not only takes wickets but also scores runs. He scored a half-century. Shardul scored 286 runs in 34 innings.
Sri Lankan cricketer Hasaranga could also be a good option for Punjab. He has taken 35 wickets in 26 IPL matches. During this period, taking 5 wickets for 18 runs in a game was the best performance. Hasaranga also has a good record in T20 International. He has taken 91 wickets in 58 matches. Hasranga can do wonders in the next IPL season. Teams can also place big bids on it.
